haha, i suspect the fact none of this is my job makes it more palatable!

it feels idiotic but apparently it solves everything, merry sunday to all of you

i'm very bad at synchronicity because it's very complex.
apparently, my fix 6 months ago was to check the validity of all actors in the turn_manager, and if one of them turns out to be dead but still receiving turn_managing benefits, to pause the whole thing for a delay, check everyone, then resume

The crown was supposed to go next but since it all got resolved in the turn of an enemy that just died, the "do_turn" shoots twice and the two next monsters play simultaneously, skipping the player's turn and making everything explode ; this is so unserious

the warden plays first, and since there's a 1 tile gap he doesnt feel like crossing, he shoots a beam at the novitiated, leaving it with 2hp. The novitiated plays then, attacks the crown, which detonates, inflicting 2 dmg, which kills the novitiated.

Isoterick cropped screenshot, three monsters in a line: a Fulminant Crown, a Novitiated, a gap, and a Warden

this is a Very Cursed interaction:
the active sigil is the Sigil of Hatred, meaning enemies hate enemies from other Essences (demons, spectres, etc). The Warden (bottom right) hates the Novitiated (hat guy), who hates the Fulminant Crown (top left). All is well.

the good news is whatever is the "whatever" i've written 6 months ago, it does in fact cure the illness my turn_manager node seems to be suffering from, and I'm tempted not to push the issue further

Godot log. It reads: Godot Engine v4.4.stable.official.4c311cbee - https://godotengine.org Vulkan 1.3.224 - Forward Mobile - Using Device #0: NVIDIA - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER do turn do turn do turn do turn do turn this should never happen but if it does, I hope what follows cures whatever disease caused it do turn do turn

having a great time debugging and-
oh, no

en tacticool bien écrit, j'ai bien aimé tactical breach wizards (avec une réserve personnelle mais c'est une question de goût)

thank you so much, really appreciate it!

still thinking of the creative & bullshit ways the splash Stamp can affect spells: what happens when you add splash to teleport?
#godot #indiedev

here's how and why:
I'm reworking how Splash works in Isoterick. I want the "splash" stamp to extend the basic effects of the spell, so how does that translate to a spell that destroys a tile? I figured the best solution was "it destroys them a little". The ground now has hit points
#Godot #indiedev

i will draw the line before adding romancing systems

it could also happen with bombardiers once the Cataclysm that makes their attacks destroy a tile activates, but honestly now that the ground has health (!) i think i need to both add more ways to damage it, and more ways to travel across chasms

oh no i could completely be arsed, i just never thought of it! but i somewhat like the idea of "you've made your bed, now sleep in it"

haha! well, I may be extending the playground era a little!

The ominous and apocalyptic warning from Morrowind: "With this character's death, the thread of prophecy is severed. Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed world you have created."

It's such an intoxicating feeling, which to me harkens back to the playground chats "have you played the game [x]? it has destructible [y]s!!!"

i have determined after many observations and wise calculations that the ground has 3 hp

just wrote "the ground now has hit points" in a patch note to myself, there are great things happening

thanks a lot!

one of the applied stamps is this neat little thing that basically instantly re-casts any spell, it was very fun to code (and very less fun to debug)

(it's called Ward of Fore because its a fw: 🤪)
